The effects of bacteria, viruses, parasites, molds and other infections can linger in the body long after the infection. These molecules of invaders can trigger your body to attack itself. This is a common phenomenon that has been going on for a long time but has been gaining publicity with long haul symptoms since the pandemic. Turns out viruses aren’t the only bugs causing long haul syndromes. Dr. Gary Kaplan, DO has been researching, treating and advocating for clients of all ages for chronic infections that cause chronic fatigue, mental health conditions and more. In this episode of The Health Fix Podcast, Dr. Jannine Krause interviews Dr. Gary Kaplan on how to identify if your chronic symptoms are related to lingering effects of previous infections.
